There was something I liked about getting absolutely lost in that jungle in SA1, and stumbling upon the ruins was always really exciting

My friends and I had that soundtrack on CD and would listen in the car. Sonic was a pretty big deal to us.

Hey You, Pikachu. I renamed it Fuck You, Pikachu because that's inevitably what you end up saying when he eats the only carrot in the game and you can't make your stew anymore

I think it had a lot to do with the fact that Joan was given the hero narrative and Annie the villain in the show's edit, despite the fact that both of them did some pretty terrible things to each other. It made Joan's win feel "right," which is really a testament to the totally concocted trashiness of the show…

Whore pit vipers!

This brings me back to the good old days, when Hitler was just something Joan Rivers called Annie Duke and not the model for a presidential candidate's approach to race relations…

God I hope he doesn't

I've developed a weird fondness for Nouns and Nouns, but nothing beats Paula Cole

Maybe that's because most versions of Dawson's Creek that you can find now have another song as the theme, which my friends and I call "Nouns and Nouns" because it's basically just a 30 second list of nouns.

Ok but why hasn't she hosted American SNL yet?

Yeah, I almost wondered if it was a Rachel Dolezal thing, but mostly I just didn't get it at all

Aw, what a bummer. I was really hoping it'd get recognized.

Adding to the list of tongue in cheek record label responses: Joni Mitchell's "You Turn Me On (I'm a Radio)", which was also a big hit

Why is that? Too old?

A question for anyone knowledge about the Oscars - will this be eligible for the 2016 awards? I know it usually goes by US release date but I wasn't sure if there was a statute of limitations or something on a 25 year old movie.

As an exercise, I wrote a long post last year where I ranked and reviewed every Studio Ghibli movie. Only Yesterday came it at #5, and here's what I had to say about it:

I am a single male with no kids, and I liked it just fine.

Probably a dumb question, but it just occurred to me - why doesn't she try to brute force the code? She could probably surmise how many digits it is by listening to him enter it, and she certainly had the time to try a lot of combinations…

It's questionable whether she did it for this purpose, but Liz Phair's Funstyle certainly feels like one of those. You don't just start rapping lines like "you look like a penius - colada that is!" out of nowhere. And it worked!

Was that the one that wasn't really an RPG anymore? I never made it that far, maybe I should…
